The victim critically injured inside Dulles Town Center mall said he was recording a prank video for his TH-cam page when he was shot.
Tanner Cook, 21, remained in the intensive care unit the next day with his mother by his side after one bullet pierced through his stomach and liver.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office did not publicly identify Tanner Cook, but court documents and a Loudoun County General District Court judge identified him during the arraignment for the suspect, Alan Colie, 31, of Leesburg.
Officials arrested and charged Colie on Sunday with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm within a building.
Sheriff Mike Chapman said the shooting was a result of a fight that broke out in the food court between both men. The gunfire caused panic among mallgoers.
A video recorded by Instagram user @thisismyu5ername captured Colie being arrested on the ground.
As the investigation continues, Cook spoke exclusively to WUSA9 from his hospital bed after undergoing surgery. Cook, a content creator for the TH-cam page Classified Goons, said he was playing jokes with Colie for another video.
“I was playing a prank and a simple practical joke, and this guy didn't take it very well,” said Tanner Cook.
His friend was recording the video when Colie allegedly pulled out his gun. The family said the footage is now part of evidence.
“He didn’t say anything to me,” added Tanner Cook.
Despite what led up to the gunfire, Tanner Cook’s father said the shooting was shocking and unnecessary.
“They were making a video at the mall and trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn't having fun,” added Jeramy Cook. “There was a phone that was around him and they were interviewing or talking to him, and he didn't like it and he pulled out his gun and shot my son.”
Tanner Cook stressed his family is relying on God and their faith to show support for his son. He even said he has no ill will, anger, or bitterness towards Colie.
“We need restoration, we need healing, and we need to come together,” said Jeramy Cook. “I pray for this young man and pray that he finds God in this. I believe that God saved our son's life, and he could have easily died but that's not the outcome. God has plans for my son."
“It’s surreal,” said his grandfather Mike Cook. “It’s obviously been unnerving and some fear running in and out, but we live on faith and not fear.”
The mall reopened on Monday after being shut down for a whole day.
Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall said she fielded many calls from worried constituents. Her focus is not only the victim but the people who witnessed the shooting.
“I've heard from so many of my constituents and they're traumatized,” said Randall. “The victims are more than just people directly involved. People have secondary trauma from this and may never walk back into this mall again.”
Despite his injuries, Tanner Cook said it will not stop him from creating videos.
During his arraignment on Monday, Colie was assigned a public defender.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective K. Mitchell at 703-777-1021.

I hope the guy that shot him is doing well and no charges should be filed on him.
Well this didn’t age well
@@WOAHIMWOEFUL Actually it did. Even the prosecutor said he likely felt threatened and needed to defend himself against a weirdo who, despite being warned repeatedly to leave him alone, had been following him for a full minute and a half.
Alan Colie was acquitted since the court deemed it self defense after he was being followed and harassed and repeatedly told Cook to stop on multiple occasions and to leave him alone, court ruling no personal opinion on the matter.
@@gabe7959He was acquitted on self defense, but found guilty on a separate charge for discharging a weapon in the mall.
@@WOAHIMWOEFULaged actually really really well
The real victim is the regular guy minding his own business at the mall whose life is now ruined due to these pranksters.
Buddy got anger issues why u feel bad for him? 😭😭😭
That’s what his stupid ass get! Not everyone is always in a playful mood. Now his life is ruined because of his ignorant behavior!As for anyone who agree with this nonsense is just as dumb as he is! I was just feet away when this all took place and the chaos it caused was horrible.

Whole family talks about faith, yet seems like they forgot to teach the kid about it
Was thinking the same thing myself. Pranking people is certainly not godly behavior. I hate it when people use their faith as a shield in these instances.
Comment of the day!
The whole family missed the whole point. God was trying to teach the son a lesson!
Unfortunately the lesson was not learned as he will continue his "passion".
And he's throwing the devil horns..
It should be illegal to just go up to someone “prank” then and then post it on social media for your own personal gain . These pranks are usually disrespectful or stupid and not ACTUALLY a prank. Honestly expect to see more of these videos especially as the world gets worse and worse

Well stated!
He's not a victim if he was pranking people in the mall to make videos for his TH-cam page.
He's a victim of a failure of a Dad. What an embarrassment of a father figure.
You’re an idiot. Someone pranking you In a mall doesn’t justify you shooting someone. Enjoy jail with the deadbeat that shot him
He doesn't do pranks. He harrases and irritates strangers until he gets a reaction. Well, he got a reaction.
pranks aren't a reason to shoot someone.
@@knottyeti No, It was a prank. Going up to someone and talking with them is not harassment and perfectly legal. Take your butt-hurt and stay in your house you little snowflake.

📸👀
these pranks are based on literally pushing strangers to limits and high stakes. screw anyone who thinks that these are harmless. its countless youtubers who go into dangerous places testing people who may not be having the best day. its messed up because you cant anticipate a prank but they can target you. f
Its called gangstalking
What amount of non violent harassment can justify a lethal level of retaliation?
@@MrMilla22the dude could have just left the mall or ignored the prankster. Nothing in this situation justifies trying to take another life

We don't need congress to do anything.
I don't know what needs to be done, but I know one thing, you're an idiot if you pull pranks on strangers.
Screw that, Congress needs to solve real issues. Like less taxes or actually use some money towards useful things like creating more water collecting infrastructure in California.
Congress is the biggest prank there is portrayed on the largest amount of victims.
The news is being too kind about these "pranks". Headline should read "Grown-*** adult intentionally aggravating man in mall gets shot in stomach. Doesn't learn a thing."
Pranksters can never handle getting pranked back.

Mess with fragile people like everyone in this comment section, someone is bound to take it to far. I pray he’s alright because the world could use more people like him that actually make people happy instead of shooting other people
@@geko3488 or leave people alone or find another way to make people happy without pushing them to the point of potential violence. But I guess that is to difficult for you to understand.
Why do people constantly let people off for cruelty? Most "pranks" are not funny. They are cruel and stupid, often poking and poking until someone breaks... then the "pranker", is somehow the victim... not an aggressor, not actually a torturer who started and continued it... said from someone "pranked" and bullied my whole life. Sounds like the evilgelical thug got what was coming to him. Maybe don't torture people for content?

@@SupaSaiyanGoku yeah, great idea. We want all the small pee pee cowards with gun fetishes to leave our state.
Unsurprisingly, the news channel did not disclose what type of "prank" Cook was playing on innocent strangers, was the "prank" over the top, and possibly could be confused with "assault" therefore warranted self-defense in response? Cook's father apparently said "my son was trying to have fun, and this guy wasn't having fun", what ridiculous entitlement attitude blaming others; so we should all have fun if and when your son decides to have his way with the general public? We support Colie all the way, Cook got what he deserved.
How would they even know? The police have the video of the prank not them
@@jsmokee7933 They confirmed they interviewed witnesses at scene, so obviously they know what Cook had done, but chose not to disclose it in order to make self defense look dangerous and irresponsible. Typical leftist anti 2A bias very plain to see.
Well he can have fun now on the hospital asshole ,,, did you see the mugshot did you really think that dude would put on with crap looks like a character from breaking bad lol ..
I would really like to know what the "prank" was. I didn't want to give his videos any views, but I read over the titles for some of them and they speak for themselves. He's very clearly trying to get strong negative reactions out of people. Depending on what he did in this instance, I'd say there's a good chance that he isn't blameless.
Honestly, I think it likely that his "prank" was something that could be called "assault" under a legal definition of the word. A lot of his "pranks" are like that.
@J Darcy I saw that one! He clearly goes way too far, and with the victims being complete strangers, he doesn't have any idea who he's pulling this crap with!
@@saldiven2009 They claim the video shot was given to investigators. Yeah… how likely is it that parts of it were "accidentally" deleted?
@ Yeah, it probably starts right when the guy gets violent, conveniently leaving out anything that provoked him.
He pulled a "fake" knife as a prank
Like the reporter said "He played with the wrong one"

I hope the poor guy gets out of jail soon.
I hope he gets a sympathetic jury and gets out on probation. f ..that dude get a f real job most likely you won't get shot asshole.
its some druggie witha long criminal history its best we dont have him out
Agreed. He really doesn’t belong there for this.
unpopular opinion: most pranks are only funny because they're not happening to you
And the actually funny ones are mostly harmless. Admittedly they're mostly just confusing to the unaware people on the surface lol
His parents are clearly enablers. Hopefully the next guy he pranks goes after them to.
i love how nobody is siding with the prankster here, and rightfully so
I side with both because both are wrong the prankster being less wrong because it was was prob just some harmless prank
@@Just_GamingYC I am just shocked he hasn’t been shot before!
both are wrong, the youtuber is on the more innocent side
His type of pranks are just straight up bullying people. This is his karma
He ruined someone's life with jail time cause of the prank. This guy deserves every bad karma
he should have aimed higher
Title should be "21yo harasses adults to embarass them on video and gets shot"
Well if that’s his passion then he’s gonna risk catching another slug
Getting shot was just part of the prank, bro! Awesome prank if you ask me. Could you do the "get shot" prank more often?
It's a normal day and you're minding your business. A stranger runs up to you and does something obnoxious with a crew (bc someone has to be filming these "pranks") and involves you in some bs involuntarily. You are confused and threatened by the prank and back someone down. Now you go to jail. You were literally minding your own business. Smh life can't be this stupid.

@@imaagamer7011 LOL What type of prank do you think it was?... I'm curious...
@@imaagamer7011 dude if I do know you do not prank me… play with your friends.. you think making a fool of someone and monetizing the content is cool.. play stupid games win stupid prizes.. smh..
@@imaagamer7011 "a non threatening prank" You don't *know* what he did. From his history, it's very likely that it was anything but "non threatening".

I don’t feel sorry for him at all, stop messing with ppl dummy they need to release the guy from jail fr. Next time he might not be so lucky and Ik it’s gonna be a next time,that so called clout wave will always get individuals hurt.
Just watched what he calls pranks. It looks like harassment to me. If he did the same to the shooter...that shooter can probably claim self-defense if he's a licensed gun owner.
Willing to bet all the stans in here would change their tune quick if they were harassed in public by some rando with a phone for a "prank". Pranks are things you pull on friends and people you know, not strangers.
do you pull out a gun and shoot people everytime someone insults you?

@Salinas E
Yes "His passion"
It is always the passion of a narcissist to torment and bully others to feed their selfish ego.
His passion is bullying innocent people trying to meet their basic needs needs
what lousey parents
Pranking is like almost bullying if someone doesnt want to be pranked
Yeah but they don't have to make people fear for their life. A glued coin, a fake dollar, fake lotto ticket. . . Harmless pranks. Even dressing as a scary clown and just standing somewhere is fine.
I would go so far as to say a jump scare prank is fair. Like the guy that pretends to be a statue or Christmas tree and then waves at people.
This dbags was shoving things in people's vision and running towards them as a 300lb 6'5" male that towers above most people.
I would have shot him too but I would have shot the other pranksters.
Would not have shot the other pranksters I mean to say.
hope and pray for unrecovery
the prank youtuber looks so punch worthy
The most likely defense would be self defense, depending on the “prank” victim’s state of mind. If he feared for his safety…
This idiot likes to vomit and pee on people.
Seems legit, not just an excuse
Could legitimately be, but who knows what actually went down you know
My dad woulda slapped me upside the head and called me a idiot for playing stupid games. You know what you get when you play stupid games
Free Alan Colie! Drop the charges! shame the prankster didn't learn a damn thing from this, if anything he'd probably target even more vulnerable people now when he's back at it and also shame on the news for making the prankster look like a victim.
How is the prankster not a victim? Think what you want of his videos but shooting him is definitely an overreaction and will just get more people on his side so if you hate these types of videos then that's not the way to go.

I hate pranks and I don't participate in or with them. In this day and age, if you play with fire you will eventually get burned. I think making a living off of being cruel to others cannot be justified no matter how much $$ you make. Hope the guy recovers and switches professions. EDIT: Never mind. I guess getting shot wasn't enough to make him grow some brains.
Play Stupid Games, Get Stupid Prizes
Thoughts and prayers to the people he pranked.
Btw, a “full recovery” doesn’t include losing your gallbladder. Which is what happened. Hope he’s passionate about organ donation if he’s planning on keeping this up.
I can't believe that this doesn't happen more often
TH-cam n tiktok needs to stop monetizing prank videos. I bet this will stop them.
it definitely won’t most do it for fun not money
Im not sure they are monitizing it. It is illegal to do so without all party consent. You can record stranger in public but not for commercial usage without consent. Except in some very unique situations like freedom of speech cases such as filming public figures. Police, government officials or famous people.
So he infringed on another person’s space and privacy and got shot. People need to leave others alone adults especially
tard got mad enough to shoot him, he valued his future over someone pranking him harmlessly
Yea but these idiots think they can do this to whoever they please.
If you really think harmless jokes like he did make it ok to shoot someone then you are part of the problem
You’re a bitch if you got that weakass mindset
Exactly
He’s not dead, that’s the real tragedy.
I hope he learns a lesson of not doing pranks on people. It's no joke. People will go insane on you.
Dude what is this comment this kid was living his life having fun, joking around with someone doesn’t warrant you getting shot, this world is becoming a horrible place.
He said he would keep making prank videos. He has learned nothing
Pulling pranks on random people who don't know you're pulling a prank is taking your life into your own hands. How do they know you're not mugging them or distracting them to pull some other crime? Especially in Texas, this kid simply FA and FO. Based on his response, it sounds like Darwin is eventually going to get a mulligan.
Just in USA they shot people for a prank
Don't tell idiotic stuff

The "pranker" literally has goon in his name. Goons are violent thugs generally working for a villain... or for a hockey team a la The Goon movie. And why do people keep callin the guy a kid? He's old enough to drink. He got what he deserved just like the people who were going around as creepy clowns and got shot or beat... because they were "pranking" people. I still can't find what this dude did, but it makes me think of the guy who got shot in 2021 trying to "prank rob" someone. Dude got what he deserved then. (update... i looked him up. All his content is violent and problematic. He TRIES for violent and angry reactions all the time.- got what he deserves.)
They need to release that guy
Finally! He got the reaction he was looking for.

With so many terrible things happening in the world today, such good news is a breath of fresh air.
Some of these pranks are not your normal "funny ha ha" pranks. If you are harassing someone and make them feel as though they are in danger. then yeah you can expect to get shot. now. what probably should have happened (I have no idea what the prank was or the severity of it) the man getting harassed should have verbally announced "I feel threatened by you and if you don't back away from me I will use lethal force on you" at that point if Tanner didn't back away and stop harrasing him THEN lethal force should be used. The reality is this. the man likely did not know he was being recorded for a prank video and probably had no reason to assume so. All he knows is he is getting harassed by a random stranger. Since we don't have the actual video (at least I haven't found it). We have no way of knowing how serious the situation was. or if Tanner WAS told to back away. Either way, it's not a great idea to do pranks on random people. not that it's illegal (depending on the prank) but it's just not a safe thing to do. My guess is that Tanner likely did something serious enough to get shot. and if so. that would make it well deserved.
Glad he didn't die, but glad he learned a lesson, free Alan.
He didn’t learn anything. He said he’s going to keep doing the videos.

Hi dom
Eventually all of these pranksters are going to run up on the wrong person. People don’t like to be played with. He said he’ll continue because it’s his passion?!? Don’t bring God into your mess. He gave you free will and you will still continue to be that fool. Smh

This is a perfect example anything you decide to do in your life that can have devastating consequences to everyone involved in whatever decision you decide to make in your life. This prankster has traumatized lots of people including himself. He has change the life of the victim (the one he was doing the prank on.) Forever! A person minding his own business, until the prankster decided to end his peace. And he the prankster, doesn't have any remorse? He's lucky himself to be alive, due to a decision he made, and he plans on continuing his destructive pranks once he recovers. And his father said God has plans for him? Not if he doesn't get right with God. Seems to me like the devil has plans for him if he plans on continuing.
The "prankster" is throwing around the "devil sign" while in his hospital bed. Does the dad know this?
I don't want to say you got what he deserved but..... you know, you can't mess with people.
Don't harassed or assault strangers. Obviously, he won't even tell us what kind of prank it was because it must've been the type that was dangerous and harmful to the other person who probably was defending himself. Disappointed that he's still planning to "prank" others.
Quit acting like this dude is a victim.
Great life lesson for this pranker 👍
TH-cam pranksters need to grow up now. This is kid is 21 years old so it shows where these midwest bored kids are trying to go. That boat to so-called fame has already sailed.
My thoughts go out the the guy that shot the youtuber. He did nothing wrong and hopefully the message of being shot or going to jail is enough for these streaming morons to quit harassing people for views.
